14.1.0→15.5.16Next.js Server-Side Request Forgery in Server Actions
CVE-2024-34351 / GHSA-fr5h-rqp8-mj6g
More information
Details
Impact
A Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) vulnerability was identified in Next.js Server Actions by security researchers at Assetnote. If the
Hostheader is modified, and the below conditions are also met, an attacker may be able to make requests that appear to be originating from the Next.js application server itself.Prerequisites
<14.1.1) is running in a self-hosted* manner./.* Many hosting providers (including Vercel) route requests based on the Host header, so we do not believe that this vulnerability affects any Next.js applications where routing is done in this manner.
Patches
This vulnerability was patched in #62561 and fixed in Next.js
14.1.1.Workarounds
There are no official workarounds for this vulnerability. We recommend upgrading to Next.js

Next.js Cache Poisoning
CVE-2024-46982 / GHSA-gp8f-8m3g-qvj9
More information
Details
Impact
By sending a crafted HTTP request, it is possible to poison the cache of a non-dynamic server-side rendered route in the pages router (this does not affect the app router). When this crafted request is sent it could coerce Next.js to cache a route that is meant to not be cached and send a
Cache-Control: s-maxage=1, stale-while-revalidateheader which some upstream CDNs may cache as well.To be potentially affected all of the following must apply:
pages/dashboard.tsxnotpages/blog/[slug].tsxThe below configurations are unaffected:
Patches
This vulnerability was resolved in Next.js v13.5.7, v14.2.10, and later. We recommend upgrading regardless of whether you can reproduce the issue or not.
Workarounds
There are no official or recommended workarounds for this issue, we recommend that users patch to a safe version.

Next.js Allows a Denial of Service (DoS) with Server Actions
CVE-2024-56332 / GHSA-7m27-7ghc-44w9
More information
Details
Impact
A Denial of Service (DoS) attack allows attackers to construct requests that leaves requests to Server Actions hanging until the hosting provider cancels the function execution.
Note: Next.js server is idle during that time and only keeps the connection open. CPU and memory footprint are low during that time.
Deployments without any protection against long running Server Action invocations are especially vulnerable. Hosting providers like Vercel or Netlify set a default maximum duration on function execution to reduce the risk of excessive billing.
This is the same issue as if the incoming HTTP request has an invalid
Content-Lengthheader or never closes. If the host has no other mitigations to those then this vulnerability is novel.This vulnerability affects only Next.js deployments using Server Actions.
Patches
This vulnerability was resolved in Next.js 14.2.21, 15.1.2, and 13.5.8. We recommend that users upgrade to a safe version.

More information
Details
A vulnerability in Next.js Image Optimization has been fixed in v15.4.5 and v14.2.31. When images returned from API routes vary based on request headers (such as
CookieorAuthorization), these responses could be incorrectly cached and served to unauthorized users due to a cache key confusion bug.All users are encouraged to upgrade if they use API routes to serve images that depend on request headers and have image optimization enabled.

Next has a Denial of Service with Server Components - Incomplete Fix Follow-Up
GHSA-5j59-xgg2-r9c4
More information
Details
It was discovered that the fix for CVE-2025-55184 in React Server Components was incomplete and did not fully mitigate denial-of-service conditions across all payload types. As a result, certain crafted inputs could still trigger excessive resource consumption.
This vulnerability affects React versions 19.0.2, 19.1.3, and 19.2.2, as well as frameworks that bundle or depend on these versions, including Next.js 13.x, 14.x, 15.x, and 16.x when using the App Router. The issue is tracked upstream as CVE-2025-67779.
A malicious actor can send a specially crafted HTTP request to a Server Function endpoint that, when deserialized, causes the React Server Components runtime to enter an infinite loop. This can lead to sustained CPU consumption and cause the affected server process to become unresponsive, resulting in a denial-of-service condition in unpatched environments.

Next.js self-hosted applications vulnerable to DoS via Image Optimizer remotePatterns configuration
CVE-2025-59471 / GHSA-9g9p-9gw9-jx7f
More information
Details
A DoS vulnerability exists in self-hosted Next.js applications that have
remotePatternsconfigured for the Image Optimizer. The image optimization endpoint (/_next/image) loads external images entirely into memory without enforcing a maximum size limit, allowing an attacker to cause out-of-memory conditions by requesting optimization of arbitrarily large images. This vulnerability requires thatremotePatternsis configured to allow image optimization from external domains and that the attacker can serve or control a large image on an allowed domain.Strongly consider upgrading to 15.5.10 and 16.1.5 to reduce risk and prevent availability issues in Next applications.

Next.js: HTTP request smuggling in rewrites
CVE-2026-29057 / GHSA-ggv3-7p47-pfv8
More information
Details
Summary
When Next.js rewrites proxy traffic to an external backend, a crafted
DELETE/OPTIONSrequest usingTransfer-Encoding: chunkedcould trigger request boundary disagreement between the proxy and backend. This could allow request smuggling through rewritten routes.Impact
An attacker could smuggle a second request to unintended backend routes (for example, internal/admin endpoints), bypassing assumptions that only the configured rewrite destination/path is reachable. This does not impact applications hosted on providers that handle rewrites at the CDN level, such as Vercel.
Patches
The vulnerability originated in an upstream library vendored by Next.js. It is fixed by updating that dependency’s behavior so
content-length: 0is added only when bothcontent-lengthandtransfer-encodingare absent, andtransfer-encodingis no longer removed in that code path.Workarounds

Next.js: Unbounded next/image disk cache growth can exhaust storage
CVE-2026-27980 / GHSA-3x4c-7xq6-9pq8
More information
Details
Summary
The default Next.js image optimization disk cache (
/_next/image) did not have a configurable upper bound, allowing unbounded cache growth.Impact
An attacker could generate many unique image-optimization variants and exhaust disk space, causing denial of service. Note that this does not impact platforms that have their own image optimization capabilities, such as Vercel.
Patches
Fixed by adding an LRU-backed disk cache with
images.maximumDiskCacheSize, including eviction of least-recently-used entries when the limit is exceeded. SettingmaximumDiskCacheSize: 0disables disk caching.Workarounds

Next.js vulnerable to cache poisoning via collisions in React Server Component cache-busting
CVE-2026-44582 / GHSA-vfv6-92ff-j949
More information
Details
Impact
React Server Component responses can be vulnerable to cache poisoning in deployments that rely on shared caches with insufficient response partitioning. In affected conditions, collisions in the
_rsccache-busting value can allow an attacker to poison cache entries so users receive the wrong response variant for a given URL.Fix
We strengthened the
_rsccache-busting mechanism to make practical collisions significantly harder and to better separate response variants that should not share cache entries.Workarounds
If you cannot upgrade immediately, ensure intermediary caches correctly honor
Varyfor RSC-related request headers, or disable shared caching for affected RSC responses until you can deploy a patched release.Severity

Next.js vulnerable to server-side request forgery in applications using WebSocket upgrades
CVE-2026-44578 / GHSA-c4j6-fc7j-m34r
More information
Details
Impact
Self-hosted applications using the built-in Node.js server can be vulnerable to server-side request forgery through crafted WebSocket upgrade requests. An attacker can cause the server to proxy requests to arbitrary internal or external destinations, which may expose internal services or cloud metadata endpoints. Vercel-hosted deployments are not affected.
Fix
We now apply the same safety checks to WebSocket upgrade handling that already existed for normal HTTP requests, so upgrade requests are only proxied when routing has explicitly marked them as safe external rewrites.
Workarounds
If you cannot upgrade immediately, do not expose the origin server directly to untrusted networks. If WebSocket upgrades are not required, block them at your reverse proxy or load balancer, and restrict origin egress to internal networks and metadata services where possible.

Impact
Applications that use

If you cannot upgrade immediately, do not pass untrusted data into
beforeInteractivescripts. If that pattern is unavoidable, sanitize or escape the content before embedding it.Severity

Next.js vulnerable to cross-site scripting in App Router applications using CSP nonces
CVE-2026-44581 / GHSA-ffhc-5mcf-pf4q
More information
Details
Impact
App Router applications that rely on CSP nonces can be vulnerable to stored cross-site scripting when deployed behind shared caches. In affected versions, malformed nonce values derived from request headers could be reflected into rendered HTML in an unsafe way, allowing an attacker to poison cached responses and cause script execution for later visitors.
Fix
We now reject or ignore malformed nonce values before they are embedded into HTML and apply stricter nonce sanitization so request-derived nonce data cannot break out of the intended attribute context.
Workarounds
If you cannot upgrade immediately, strip inbound
Content-Security-Policyrequest headers from untrusted traffic.Severity

Next.js has a Denial of Service in the Image Optimization API
CVE-2026-44577 / GHSA-h64f-5h5j-jqjh
More information
Details
Impact
When self-hosting Next.js with the default image loader, the Image Optimization API fetches local images entirely into memory without enforcing a maximum size limit. An attacker could cause out-of-memory conditions by requesting large local assets from the
/_next/imageendpoint that match theimages.localPatternsconfiguration (by default, all patterns are allowed).images.localPatterns, only the patterns in that array are impacted.images.unoptimized: true, you are NOT impacted.images.loader: 'custom', you are NOT impacted.Fix
We now apply response size limits consistently to internal image fetches, not just external ones, and fail oversized responses before they can exhaust process memory.
This can be adjusted using the
images.maximumResponseBodyconfiguration.Workarounds
If you cannot upgrade immediately, avoid routing large local assets through
/_next/image, disable image optimization for large or untrusted local files, or block image optimization access to those assets at the edge.You can disable using the
images.localPatterns: []configuration. This will still allow fetching remote images (which is not impacted).Severity

Next.js has a Middleware / Proxy bypass in Pages Router applications using i18n
CVE-2026-44573 / GHSA-36qx-fr4f-26g5
More information
Details
Impact
Applications using the Pages Router with
i18nconfigured and middleware/proxy-based authorization can allow unauthorized access to protected page data through locale-less/_next/data/<buildId>/<page>.jsonrequests. In affected configurations, middleware does not run for the unprefixed data route, allowing an attacker to retrieve SSR JSON for protected pages without passing the intended authorization checks.Fix
The matcher logic was updated to perform the same match as it would on a non-i18n data route.
Workarounds
If you cannot upgrade immediately, enforce authorization in the page's server-side data path instead of relying solely on middleware.

Next.js's Middleware / Proxy redirects can be cache-poisoned
CVE-2026-44572 / GHSA-3g8h-86w9-wvmq
More information
Details
Impact
Next.js uses the
x-nextjs-datarequest header for internal data requests. On affected versions, an external client could send this header on a normal request to a path handled by middleware that returns a redirect.When that happened, the middleware/proxy could treat the request as a data request and replace the standard
Locationredirect header with the internalx-nextjs-redirectheader. Browsers do not followx-nextjs-redirect, so the response became an unusable redirect for normal clients.If the application was deployed behind a CDN or reverse proxy that caches 3xx responses without varying on this header, a single attacker request could poison the cached redirect response for the affected path. Subsequent visitors could then receive a cached redirect response without a
Locationheader, causing a denial of service for that redirect path until the cache entry expired or was purged.Affected scenarios
This affects applications that:
Fix
The fix stops trusting
x-nextjs-databy itself for middleware redirect handling. A request is now treated as an internal data request only when it is validated as such by internal routing state, preserving legitimate data-request redirect behavior while preventing external header injection from changing normal redirect responses.Workarounds
Before upgrading, users can reduce risk by:
